Once snow-covered Grand Strand courses are assessing when they can reopen. The latest updates

A few courses will reopen Sunday, while most in the market won't reopen until Monday, and at least one facility is closed until Wednesday

Must read

All of the golf courses in the Myrtle Beach golf market were forced to close this week due to freezing temperatures and a snowstorm overnight Tuesday.

Many were closing beginning Monday to protect greens from frigid temperatures and anticipated wintry precipitation.

With up to 6 inches of snow covering courses since Wednesday morning, most expect to be closed until at least Monday.

Some plan to reopen Sunday, however, including Tidewater Golf Club, Azalea Sands Golf Club, Man O’War Golf Links, The Wizard Golf Links, Crow Creek Golf Club and Legends Resort’s Heathland Course.

For many courses, it is at least their second stretch of being closed this month, as temperatures have been at or below 32 degrees for many nights over the past few weeks.

Many golf course owners have purchased green covers since 2018, when a number of courses were forced to close in the spring or summer to repair damage from a condition known as winterkill on their greens.

The covers are meant to protect greens from freezing temperatures in the hopes of preserving their conditions for the busy spring golf season.

These are the days the following courses hope to reopen. In most cases, conditions are being monitored and reopening dates could be later than anticipated.

These are being constantly updated as information becomes available:
